Bike Riding

For some reason, it has taken Rachel a while longer to learn how to ride a bike than it did her older siblings. Maybe we were always busy with other things. Maybe when the weather's been nice for learning how to bike ride she always had a cast on. Maybe those casts made her nervous to learn a skill that involved balance and the possibility of falling . . . . We don't know. But recently she made the decision that she was determined to finally learn how to do this after all these years of fits and starts. She got on her bike and tried and tried all afternoon and evening one day, . . . then, the next day, she got on and was able to do it. She's been unstoppable ever since and wants to go riding her bike every day.
